Prison Doctor
Louis Berg
This young doctor filled with scientific zeal and the ethics of his profession, comes into one of America's great prison as medical examiner.
It is a strange world within a world that he found there, a world of viciousness and official corruption. He gives his sympathy to Buddy, who went joyriding in a "hot" car, and now is thrown among professional murderers, drug addicts, and strange, malevolent creatures of the "third sex"—the eerie company of the Lost Ones. Then there is Rose, in the Women's Ward, who smiled at Buddy. . . .
Beneath the routine of prison life at last a volcano begins to rumble ominously. The Prison Doctor, a neutral in the war of society, senses the impending explosion, but is armed only with physic and quinine pills. Once more the desperate attempt at jail-break is made by the men who have nothing to lose—but their lives.
